- Gabriel de le Poer - 11-16-2007 [html] There was a change in the deer; Gabriel had noticed it, watching their patterns carefully. The rut had come to an end, leaving the younger, inexperienced males wounded and left to their own ends. They were still underweight, and while this concerned him in regards to how much meat could be taken from them, taking down two or more would given the clan enough food for a small amount of time. So he crept back to the shore and called for them, voice resounding over the crashing waves.[/html] - Samael Lykoi - 11-16-2007 While he was loath to answer a summoning call from Gabriel, his alliance also currently rested with Inferni, and thus demanded his attention. His breath rose in a plume on the cold winter air, fading before his muzzle as he walked. Even so, he took his time, loping along at a leisurely pace toward the sound of his half-brother's voice. Snowflakes had began to fall, spiraling toward the ground in flurries, but that would be enough to impair visibility in any hunt. He settled himself on the cold sand, curling his tail around his paws and quietly regarding the others as they gathered. Gabriel spoke and his attention shifted toward him. They would need food for the winter, and they would all have to work together to get it. Survival undermined indignation at any rate. Samael's voice broke into the air, saying, ''I'll help take something down.'' It was a logical position, as for a coyote he held a size advantage for his species, and thus was suited for such a task. - Faolin Mogotsi - 11-17-2007 [html]

- Empusa Lykoi - 11-30-2007 [html]Empusa heard the call from Gabriel. She was beginning to be able to recognize his voice...this was the second time she had heard it. Empusa hadn't known Kaena at all, had only known that the dog was her grandmother...so to her, Gabriel would always be the leader. He had been the one to allow her to join, and to turn her mother away. It had proven to be a good choice; Empusa had learned that wolves, and hybrids that looked like them, were disgusting creatures. How could a /coyote/ live amongst Gods like them? It would be unsanitary. She arrived with the others, taking a spot toward the outside of the circle. She was too young to help a lot, maybe to help at all...she would watch, though. "Would you be vanting my help? Other than that I will watch--and join the next time we 'ave an 'unt"[/html] - Gabriel de le Poer - 12-02-2007 [html]Sorry for the delay guys! In order to move this along, we'll do two more rounds of posting. This one, in which your characters get into place, and another when they actually rock the hunt. I'll have the sparring thread up once we finish here! Their lack of adult members startled Gabriel, but it did not show on his face. He knew better then that. Samael and Hybrid, the two other adult males in the clan, offered to do the killing. They were both suited to that bloodshed. Any bloodshed, really. Before he managed to speak, Empusa, his niece, offered to help or watch. Gabriel considered this for a moment, then spoke. “Empusa, if you want to join us stay close to me. Samael, Hybrid, take your positions. Faolin, you’re also with me.”[/html] - Samael Lykoi - 12-04-2007 Gaze peering around at the others gathered, it was painfully obvious how their clan had diminished. Only he, two others, and a child had appeared, answering Gabriel's call. But that would be enough to make a kill. And it would mean less mouths to argue with over what food they did succeed in bringing down. Ears slidding forward atop his head, he rose from his position on the ground and turned, slinking off into the trees. Crimson gaze peering around through the branches, he kept track of where the others were, and the potential direction they'd send the prey in. Finding a suitable spot, golden coyote lowered himself to the ground, claws pressing into the soil to keep him ready and able to spring into immediate action at a moment's notice. Pale cloud of breath exhaled from between parted jaws, dispersing between twin rows of razor fangs. He was ready, and already craving the taste of blood that would pass soon across his tongue, if successful. - Faolin Mogotsi - 12-09-2007 [html]

- Empusa Lykoi - 12-11-2007 She was excited that she was allowed to join the others in the hunt. She’d noticed when she’d arrived that there weren’t any other youngsters like herself in the group…and she hadn’t been sure that she would be allowed to help them bring down the prey. Empusa didn’t know a lot about hunting at all…she didn’t want to mess things up for them. She’d been worried about joining the hunt, and now she was nervous about getting in the way. This was the first time she’d seen some of these coyotes, and she didn’t want to make them angry with her. The hybrid nodded in response to the leader’s words, and when they started off she kept close to him and Faolin. She knew that she would be safe with them, and that they would think of a way for her to be of use. She was small now, but with time she would grow into something larger. Maybe by the next clan hunt she would be able to participate fully. Empusa tagged along behind the two, looking around excitedly. - Gabriel de le Poer - 12-11-2007 [html] The air smelled like water, like flesh, like death. Gabriel’s body was a steel loaded spring, hunched down. There were no words. This was something imbued in their spirit, their instinct, their blood. Before them was the target, not just one individual, but a group that meant nothing. Lips pulled back, teeth glistening in the light, tongue tasting the scent in the air. With a deep growl, he sprung towards the herd. Barking and snapping wildly, the hybrid began to drive the group towards where Samael and Hybrid lay in wait.[/html] - Samael Lykoi - 12-13-2007 He was waiting, watching with muscles tense and ready to spring. Crimson eyes peering through the brush, there was a sound that caused his ears to twist forward atop his head and muzzle to lift just a few inches. The sound of delicate hooves tearing up the ground and the wild, acrid stench of fear possessing the air. He could see Gabriel running after the deer, snapping and barking as he herded them toward where he and Hybrid crouched, ready to attack. One drew near; a doe with liquid, black eyes wide rolling back in her head and nostrils spread as she sucked in deep breaths of the cold, winter air. A flash of gold and black as his claws dug into the snowy soil, propelling himself toward her, slamming his shoulder into her chest. White-hot pain splintered into life from where he impacted against her body, but his tactic succeeded in causing the doe to stumble, legs flailing as she attempted to regain her footing. Own paws landing heavily on the ground, he twisted around, snapping and bitting at the deer's bulging flank as he began to devour her alive. - Faolin Mogotsi - 12-14-2007 [html]
[/html] - Hybrid Holocaust - 12-16-2007 [html] [/html] - Empusa Lykoi - 12-17-2007 She followed along behind the others, soon becoming swept up in the thrill of the hunt. She could see why they liked hunting in a group, now; they could bring down an entire deer if they worked well together! That was a huge amount of food! Empusa hurried along behind Faolin, watching what the more experienced hunter did and echoing it. She snapped her teeth together menacingly to try and help keep the doe running, as the older coyotes bit at its haunches. When it was brought down she sat nearby, panting. This was the most exciting thing that had happened in a while, and she was going to savor the memory. She waited to see what was going to happen next, if they were going to eat. If they did she would most certainly eat last, as she hadn't helped as much as the others to bring it down. That was the reasoning. |
